The drug you’re thinking of is Pepcid. That’s still OK to take, but if you need some then you have to get there early on the right day because it’s being hoarded.

Yes, my doctor switched me to OTC Pepcid (generic = famotidine) 20 mg tabs last year when Zantac was recalled. But for the past 4 or 5 weeks it has been impossible to find. I have plenty fo the time being but will pick up some more as soon (if ever) as Costco gets it back in stock.

“But for the past 4 or 5 weeks it has been impossible to find.”

Probably because about four weeks ago someone announced famotidine might be good for WuFlu. One little whisper about something like this results in buying sprees.

The good news is that Tylenol is now available (which was a hoarded good just a couple of weeks ago). So there is hope that the hoarding will cease with Pepcid in the near future.

I take it from your handle that you are looking forward to the upcoming Dune movie. Hopefully this COVID nightmare won't delay the opening too much.
